Open Emotion

Love this one

My daily good came in my e-mail this morning and I couldn't resist putting it up here. Seriously, I love quotes:

It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else. --Erma Bombeck

I really think that it is hard to put that out there for all to judge and know about. I personally have a hard time saying I want a certain something out loud. For some reason, once I say I want to do something out loud, like I want to run a 5k, it doesn't motivate me as much and it doesn't happen. But, if I keep it inside and not mention that I want it to happen, and for those who know me, know that this is extremely hard for me, it seems to happen.

Plus, when you say your dreams out loud, those around you know if you fail to accomplish them. They know if you haven't made your dream reality.

Daily Good

"The truth is ... everything counts. Everything. Everything we do and everything we say. Everything helps or hurts; everything adds to or takes away from someone else." --Countee Cullen

Months ago, I found this wonderful daily good site. Rather than hearing about celebraties or how something bad happened (I never watch the news for this reason), this site will send you a "daily good" in an email each day. I've become addicted and the truth is

I love quotes.

They send quotes at the top of each e-mail that connects with the "good" for that day. Then, at the bottom, it has a "be the change" section, where you can do something and they give you a suggestion (usually related to the good story). It's a great way to start your day.
